This prototype has the potential to become Avalon‘s most potent weapon. Its main drawback is its energy cost, requiring a discrete second alpha energy reactor safely protected in a harness placed on the user‘s meta-armour‘s torso.

This harness powers two large magnetic field control gauntlets, giving the meta-armour unparalleled destructive capabilities, but only so long as there is some type of metal nearby. In order to avoid having a user be defenceless in the middle of a desert or a jungle, Merlin tinkered with several other projectiles of varying composition and strength. Fashioning chains and wires into whipping blades. Spinning ball bearings into frenzied clouds of perforating death. Shaping liquid metals into giant cleavers.

Alas, none of these were strong enough to pierce through solid armour backed up by a kinetic field. An elegant solution was to supply ten jointed alpha element blades along with the harness and gloves. They became known as Fenrir‘s claws. When on standby, they float behind the user, almost like a cape. When activated, they fly out like ten gigantic digits ready to slice, crush, and pound their targets. The effects are tremendous, as few targets can withstand blades potent enough to bypass protective fields. The claws can each be sent flying forwards like crossbow bolts. The gloves‘ magnetic manipulations are restricted to the claws, however. Lastly, the wearer can use the claws to carry themselves or haul themselves upwards, as if on giant limbs.

Special: While they are classified as a melee weapon, Fenrir‘s claws can attack up to medium range./n With the claws, the character also gains the effects of a level 3 leap module with the same energy costs./n When using Fenrir‘s claws, the character adds their Acuity to their damage rather than their Strength.
